Will Jerome Boateng stay at Bayern? That says Hansi Flick

Jerome Boateng has with FC Bayern reported strong performances this season. Remaining with the record champions beyond the summer is again an option. Head coach Hansi Flick commented on the future of the central defender on Friday.

In summer Boateng was on the siding at Bayern. A change, which the club openly pushed ahead, did not come about. The 2014 world champion then benefited from the bad luck of injury from his colleagues Niklas Süle and Lucas Hernandez and got used to the new head coach Hansi Flick. Staying beyond the summer has again become a real option.

“I like working with him. He does a very good job, he was a German international and has shown that he can play on the level again,” Flick said at the virtual press conference on Friday before the Bundesliga game Eintracht Frankfurt.

Boateng can freely decide about the future

Boateng, whose contract on Säbener Straße is still valid until 2021, is opening the door for another season in Munich: “It is up to him whether he stays or not. He will also think about where his future lies – but he has no pressure, “said Flick.
